Olympus E-PL1 – Part 4

Posted on 22 Mar 20103 Apr 2018   by CY

I’d been taking random pictures and looking with untrained eyes off images. To sum up in a sentence what the image quality in the E-PL1 looks like to me: it’s not quite as good as the images off a D300,

Olympus E-PL1 – Part 3

Posted on 22 Mar 20103 Apr 2018   by CY

Now for the inevitable bug bears. The Olympus Pen m4/3 cameras have got a lot of flak for their contrast-detection AF system. Basically, it’s slow. If you’ve only used DSLRs, the AF hunting the E-PL1 does is gonna be real

Ground Rice Grains

Posted on 22 Mar 201019 Sep 2010   by Ling

Grinding rice grains helps to cut down time required to cook them into soft porridge. It takes a bit of trouble to get it done but the convenience that comes later is worth it. So here’s what I did after

Olympus E-PL1 – Part 2

Posted on 21 Mar 20103 Apr 2018   by CY

Surprisingly, the E-PL1 can be had for relatively attractive prices here in Singapore though the recommended retail price here is SGD998. The unit with the standard 14-42mm lens can be purchased for as low as SGD900, which while is still

Cooking with the Slow Cooker

Posted on 21 Mar 201021 Mar 2010   by Ling

One of the challenges I faced when Hannah started on solid food was time management. Life began to feel quite hurried at home when cooking was part of the daily routine. Gosh, and more washing too! Since I didn’t start

The Green Zone

Posted on 21 Mar 201014 Mar 2018   by CY

The Green Zone – at AMK Hub (2010). Incredibly, we’re already in the 11th week of the year and this is only the first theatrical film Ling and I have caught this year! We’d originally intended to catch this show

Olympus E-PL1 – Part 1

Posted on 20 Mar 20103 Apr 2018   by CY

I’ve blogged about my interest in a picking up a larger sensor compact camera for some time now, and last month was very excited about the announcement of the E-PL1. It’s strange that the scene has still been dominated by

Play Yard Video

Posted on 19 Mar 201018 Apr 2010   by CY

Here’s another video but of a much happier Hannah while playing in the six segment play yard we bought her a week ago, and blogged about here.:) Right in the last few seconds of this video clip Hannah demonstrates a

Bawling Babies

Posted on 19 Mar 201018 Apr 2010   by CY

Here’s a short video segment shot of Hannah going about her bawling on Wednesday night and blogged about yesterday: The video doesn’t quite present an accurate picture of her bawling – it was really, really much worse than this. And

Babies are so cute…!

Posted on 18 Mar 20105 Apr 2010   by CY

Until they start wailing non-stop, that is! Both Ling and myself have noticed the effects of Hannah’s going through hormonal changes or just that we’ve so far been relatively quick to respond to her needs and that’s only increased her

Battlefield: Bad Company 2

Posted on 18 Mar 201018 Mar 2010   by CY

Reposting this from the other blog.:) — I used to be really good at first-person shooters – and by that, I mean the first-generation first person shooters of the early 90s with titles like Return to Castle Wolfenstein and Doom.

Day 15: Back in 2011!

Posted on 16 Mar 201017 Mar 2010   by CY

The farewell dinner for 2010 Ang Moh Event was a take-out zi-char dinner that we tried to cramp everything else we haven’t exposed Matt to this time round: and that included poh-piahs, rojak, and Otahs. After which, it was a
